Part 1b

This picture is a good example of The Great Depression becuase many people did not have a lot of money and jobs during this time. So many people had to farm and grow their own food so they could eat and survive. This shows a man plowing his small garden so he could plant and grow food.
Part 2: A

In this picture, I see many warehouses and a big patch of land that is bare. When I first look at this picture, I notice that there is almost nothing there except for two cars and some warehouses. The physical setting is that it is a very quiet and empty picture with nothing going on in it. Something that is missing from this image is that there is no action going on at the moment. If this picture was taken today, it would be different because there would be plenty of action going on and lots of hustle and bustle. This was made when not many people were in the town because they were not able to afford to live there. I want to know why this picture is so empty with nothing going on in it. Another thing I want to know is when this picture was taken. Lastly, I want to know what the photographers motivation was of taking this picture.

In this picture, I see two black people sitting on their small porch at their very small house. When I look at this picture, I first notice that they are black people and that there house is unbelievably small. I can also see That they live in a neighborhood with other very small houses, which probably are owned by other black people. I think this image was made to show what kind of life that black people had and what kind of conditions that they lived in. I think the audience of this image was white people so that they could make fun of the life that black people had, because that is how people were back then. If someone took this today, it would be different because people would rush to help these people to give them a better life instead of letting them live in these horrible conditions. I wonder how these people were able to live in a house like this an were able to survive. I also wonder why black people were so disliked that they were forced to live in conditions like the condition shown in the picture. I also wonder who these people in the picture were because I would like to ask them how they were able to stay healthy in those kind of conditions.

In this picture, I see two men trying to push a car along a road. I also see many other cars parked along the road. Some objects that are shown are that there are cars parked along the street. In this picture, I notice that these people are pushing a car away from what I think is a gas station. I think this photo was made because it showed that some people couldn't afford gas, so they were not able to power their cars. In this image, the tool that was used was a camera. Something that is missing from this image is that instead of having a pavement road, it is a dirt road. Something I wonder about is why they have to push their car when they are right next to a gas station.I also wonder how much gas was at this period of time. I also wonder what period of time this was in.
Part 2:B
At the bus station in Durham, North Carolina
In this picture, I see a black man waiting for a bus in the colored waiting room. He is not allowed to wait in the white waiting room. The first thing I notice in this picture is that the sign says, "Colored Waiting Room." Some other things that I can see is that where the black people board the bus, they have to board towards the back of it. This image was made to show that black people had to wait in a different room than white people did. If this photo was taken today, it would be different because there would not be separate waiting rooms for white and black people. Also, nothing would be the same in this picture today. I wonder why white people hated black people so much back then. I wonder when the treatment of these people ended. I also wonder why this only took place in the south and not the north part of the country.
A Greyhound bus trip from Louisville, Kentucky, to Memphis, Tennessee, and the terminals. Waiting for the bus at the Memphis terminal
In this picture, I see lots of white people waitng in an area for white people only. The first thing I notice in this picture is that there is a sign saying that the waiting room is for white people only. The people and objects that are shown are that there is a sign saying, "White Waiting Room," and there is only white people in the picture. In the photo, white people are waiting in the waitng room for the bus to come to the station. From examining this image, I learned that many white people used the bus to get around town back then. Something that would be the same today in this image is that it would still be very busy, but with black and white people. I wonder why there are so many more white people waiting at the station than there are black people. I also wonder how people ould get around if there was not a bus becuase it looks like that a lot of people rely on teh bus for transportation. I also want to know where this picture was taken.
Lunchroom near Belle Glade, Florida
In this picture, I see that this restaurant serves both black people and white people. I first notice that the restaurant serves black and white people. But the restaurant does not look like it is doing good becuase many people do not want these two cultures to be mixed with each other. So, not a lot of people go there. The physical setting is that it is in a small hut that looks to be on top of a hill. This photo was taken to show that some people didn't see a difference between black and white people, and they welcomed both of them at their restaurants. This photo was probably taken in either the early or late 40's. In this photo, people in the restaurant are missing. There does not seem to be anyone in the restaurant. I wonder who these people were becuase they accepted both blacks and whites at their restaurant. I also wonder why they accepted both black and white people at their restaurant. And lastly, I wonder where this restaurant is.
Part 3:A All of these people interviewed are good examples of people that lived during the Great Depression. These people all worked multiple jobs so that they would be able to earn enough money to keep themselves and/or their family going. Some of them also worked jobs that were dangerous just so that they could earn enough money. For example, Mr. Garavelli worked in a stoneshed where there was a certain chemical that could kill them called sicila. It was a type of dust that you would inhale which would poison you. Another person whose job was also dangerous was Chris Thorsten. He was an iron worker. In his interview, he says, "When I got hurt I was squeezed between a crane and a collar bone broke and all the ribs in my body and three vertebrae. I was laid up for four years." so he was also working a job that was life threatening. But he was doing this so that he could earn enough money. During this time there were some wars going on throughout the world. So, the men were drafted into the army and forced to leave their families. So sometimes the wife of the house had to take over some of the duties that the father had done. Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller had to take down a very big piece of meat so that it would not rot and go bad. After cutting the piece of meat into pieces, she eventually got all of it where she wanted it to be. When she told her husband about it, he did not believe her because he didn't think a woman could do a job like that. In this period of time, most people were equal considering money. They all did not have a lot of it. A person that was interviewed in a park put it in good terms. He stated that God made everything for everybody, not just one group or type of people. And finally, during this time period, many people were forced to switch their jobs. But some were lucky enough to keep the job that they liked to do. Alice Caudle was able to keep her job as a mill worker. She preferred working in the mill than almost everything else in the world. These examples show what people were like during this period of time. They all represent this time period becuase all of them were hard working people that had to work many hours of their job so that they could try and enjoy their life with their family and friends.
